Great actor.Mickey Rourke with cigarette in mouth,semi-closed eye-thats really Hollywood guy for me.for me he is typical 180cm man.....-on first look ,he is something like 6"2,on second look,he appears short,but not too short....that are marks for 180cm man.but today,in his 57s ,is 179cm definitely posibble. josh says on 6/Feb/10

In film Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man Mickey doesn't look much taller than Don Johnson, who is rumoured being only 5-8 or 5-9. They both had boots on, so that makes 2 inches for both. Marlboro (Don Johnson) had this cowboy hat, which makes him look somewhere same height. But if Don really is only 5-9, then Mickey could be something like 5-10, only.
But 5-11 isn't that much height either, so might be just 5-11. I would believe that. Spence says on 15/Jan/10

i highly doubt that vin diesal would ever towered over mickey rourke because vin diesal would have to wear 5 or 6 inches of shoes to do that anyways i think mickey rourke is a solid 5'11 and a great actor. RisingForce says on 28/Dec/09
Van Damme is 5'9" and Rourke is 5'11". gilipollas says on 10/Dec/09
Dave, what are u talking about? JCVD is 173 cm and Mickey cannot be that short. Dave says on 1/Dec/09
first of all, i would like to apologize for my English, I'm Italian....I love this site....Mickey is one of my favourite actors and a Chameleon of height for sure. I've watched most of his movies. In my opinion he's no more than 178 cm, slightly under 180. I'm going to explain why he is a Chameleon of height: he looks no taller than johnny depp,he looks the same height as Michael Madsen, he towers over Bob Hoskins and is towered by Liam Neeson in "A Prayer for the Dying", same height as Don Johnson, barely taller than Stallone but same height as Van Damme, barely taller than Anthony Hopkins (172 tops), same height as Kelly Lynch in high heels in "Desperate Hours", much taller than Willem Dafoe in "White Sands", last but not least he's towered by Vin Diesel (that's the most Shocking fact!, but Diesel is famous for his very strong footwear)....that's very illogical!!!! there's something wrong!....i guess the answer is FOOTWEAR! I'm desperatly seeking a vintage pic Of Mickey together with Bruce Willis, do you have one? even a recent pic would be ok...I think that's the only way to judge his height...willis in regular shoes should be as tall as Rourke in cowboy boots...What's your opinion? .....i saw Mel Gibson long time ago and he's not over 172/173 cm, that's fore sure, I shaked hands with him..I was in flat shoes (converse allstar) (i'm 177-178), he was in cowboy boots and still barely shorter than me mike says on 22/Nov/09
rourke got up to 230 something in the wrestler im sure he lost it all tho Anonymous says on 7/Nov/09
my girlfriend and I met Mickey Rourke In San Jose, CA I took a picture with him and he was not wearing boots or anything like that, but I for sure am 5'7.5 without shoes and 5'8 with shoes, and he was at least 3.5-4 inches taller than me, in my picture I am not in full posture but he is a little taller than my stepfather who is 5'11 James S says on 26/Oct/09
I say this is quite true. 5'11 is accurate for him yes. Good solid height for a man since average is 5'9, so this is a good solid height, I should know, I am 5'11 myself. Someguy says on 14/Oct/09
I met him a few weeks ago
He looked a bit shorter than me, but by very little. I'm 5ft11.5 so I'm guessing he's 5ft10.5 Leslie says on 5/Oct/09

Hank:
I don't think so. He may have been 140 early early on but in the 70's he was a middleweight (usually 165) and when he decided to go back later he was a light heavywieght. I think 5'10" - 5'11" is pretty accurate. He's body tall but his legs are average. Hank says on 10/May/09

Saw the Jonathan Ross interview and it made me think he was a genuine 5'11". Ross is 6'1.5" and he definitely didn't dwarf Rourke, even with Rourke's less than great posture. There appeared to be less than 3 inches difference.
Also, Ross wears pretty substantial heels on his shoes, whereas Rourke's shoes looked relatively normal (they showed them close up). Either way, there was definitely no shoe advantage in Rourke's favour. j. says on 20/Feb/09
nah mickey rourke is more 5'10 just saw him on jonathan ross, he was 3 inches or more shorter than jonathan ross and he is like 6'1, even in that photo above he looks 5'9.5-10 Dennis says on 10/Feb/09
I have met in person. He was going to do a movie with menachem Golan who is a friend of mine and he is about 5'11". Really a dog lover. the shredder says on 30/Jan/09
Thanks Leonari and Mr.R ... just saw The Wrestler , it was great ! I thought it had a great message to it ! Marisa Tomei is great , her and Mikey Rourke's
perfromance was so realistic ! Ive not seen that many recent movies , but this was by far the best ive seen since The Dark Knight , Though diffrent movies ! i was near where it was playing and I had a little money on me ! Im more a dvd person though !
Btw , for some reason I thought he looked 6'0 or taller in the movie , must be for the role ! Mr. R. says on 29/Jan/09
Mickey was listed at 5-11 for a long time, which makes me VERY, VERY suspicious. I think he is closer to 5-10, especially after all the beat downs he took in boxing. Because it is awards time, a lot of folks are in Hollywood these days, so I will keep an eye out for Mickey. Given what he wears, he should not be that hard to find!
Also, Shredder, The Wrestler was the best movie I have seen all year! Mickey is great! But Sean Penn may have his number. The SAG Awards are usually pretty accurate. the shredder says on 28/Jan/09
Yea the thing is I can't really judge which movie are performance I would like better , but me and my friend are still betting who and what wins , lol !
my bets are
Mickey Rourke for Best Actor ... sean penn won everything else , so I think there going to do a twist !
Best Supporting Heath Ledger ... there just going to give it to him ! Though he was GREAT !
Best Actress - Kate winslit ... just a feeling
Best Supporting Actress - Marisa Tomei - just a feeling
Best Picture - Milk leonari says on 28/Jan/09
the shredder: Go see the wrestler. You won't regret it. Pitt was good in Benjamin Button but not nearly as good as Rourke in the Wrestler. I haven't seen "Milk" so no clue about Penns performance. Probably very solid. Rourke is the man. I still have to see couple of movies before the oscar. I want to have seen the major nominations so I can cheer for the right person to win. Best supporting: Marisa Tomei from the wrestler. She is hot and a very good actress. leonari says on 26/Jan/09
Richard:going out...the ware married!!!! RICHARD says on 25/Jan/09
He was also 2 inches taller than 5ft9 Carre Otis in Wild Orchid. Both were going out in real-life. Leonari says on 25/Jan/09
to me he looked 5'11.5 to 6 feet in the 80ies. He is always taller than Sly.
Hope he wins the oscar after the golden globe. Go watch the wrestler. The movie is great and Mickey is on top of his game!!!!!!' Yvette says on 24/Jan/09
Mickey looks over 6'0. I am so glad to see him back and doing well. He is such a great actor. Yay Mickey I would love to see more of you. Welcome Back! Jason W. says on 23/Jan/09
did anyone happen to see Mickey's new "blinged up" grille on the Golden Globes a couple weeks ago? im glad to see he is back btw. RICHARD says on 22/Jan/09
Looks very tall in The Wrestler like 6-00 or something. I mean wow he really buffed up and yet looks taller than he did when he was slim. When he was slim he looked 5'9/5'10 but now he looks 6'0/6'1. I can only hope to get buff like him and gain a few more inches when I turn 50-something denke510 says on 18/Jan/09
you might check your math again...in The Pope of Greenwich Village he stands next to Darryl Hannah when he has on socks and she is in Ked's. We know she's a solid 5'10" and he's a couple of inches taller than she. leonari says on 17/Jan/09
Mickey was a full 5'11" in the 80's. And yes he was born in 1952. e says on 17/Jan/09

Ace,
Springsteen(5ft9.5) does have cowboy boots on with what looks to be a good 2" heel, and Rourke looks to be wearing more regular heeled dress shoes, as far as I can make out from the pic. Maybe Rourke is more like 5ft10.5, and 6ft0.5 minimum in his cowboy boots, which he seems to wear the majority of the time?
I agree though that Rourke could be more like 5ft10ish, and 6ft+ in cowboy boots which he typically seems to wear. Ace says on 13/Jan/09
Based on this pic with Springsteen, I'd say Mickey's 5'10 tops:

He was just on Letterman and really seems like a great guy. Looked about 5'10. Anthony says on 21/Dec/08
I think 5'11 is accurate. In "The Pope Of Greenwich Village," he was taller than Daryl Hannah. He's such a great actor and I am very glad he's on the verge of a very big comeback with "The Wrestler." One of the greatest actors ever. S.P says on 20/Nov/08
he looks 5'11 to me. he was excellent in sin city, Marv's the man... M.o.r.g says on 13/Nov/08
Peak? he's only in his early 50's XD And like i said check out his shoes in rumble fish.I was watching white sands not so long ago and he looked hardly any taller than willem dafoe.And exactly look at that photo. TELLEM says on 10/Nov/08
if he was 5'11.5 peak, why is there a pic with him and 2pac the same height? TELLEM says on 6/Nov/08
i guess tupac was 5'11-6'0 aswell right?
Click Here leonari says on 5/Nov/08
could have been as tall as 5'11.5 in his prime. Watch his old movies. Regular dress shoes , looks over average fo sure. Those who say 5'9 for Mickey are clueless about heights. No other way of putting it.sorry M.o.r.g says on 22/Oct/08
Another thing is he is wearing similar shoes in rumble fish,to the ones stallone wore in rocky. M.o.r.g says on 12/Oct/08
He's pretty slim in rumble fish and that was 1983.He looked almost the same height as jonathan ross.probably wore lifts or big shoes. Manitobaboy says on 26/Sep/08
He's another guy who was a middleweight fighter way back, before he bulked up. He was chunkier in the 80s which may have taken away from his appearance/height. He's slimmed out a bit. I'd buy 5'11 in his prime - maybe a little less now. Anonymous says on 19/Aug/08
Isn't the Marv character seven feet? Lmeister says on 17/Aug/08
He is a puzzling person. In older pics he looked shortish. There is a plenty of pics where he is shorter than Don Johnson, Tupac and Matt Dillon. Also in few pics he only like 3 inches taller than Spike Lee. Nowadays he looks always taller than 5ft10 sometimes almost 6ft1... J says on 23/Jul/08
That's crazy talk, Daniel. Marv looked like a beast and Mickey most likely wore lifts to appear so huge. Daniel says on 22/Jul/08
If Mickey Rourke is 1.80m, then it's strange how the character Marv from the Sin City movie (who, despite his Kirk Douglas appeareance is played by Rourke) looks 1.74m - 1.76m throughout the whole sequence in which he is featured. Anonymous says on 13/Mar/08
He looked no taller than Steve Guttenberg(sp?) in The Diner. JMK says on 31/Jan/08
He looks taller as a buff gruff these days than he did when he was a slim pretty boy in the 80's. Weird. AshnarLynx says on 23/Dec/07
Yes, Mickey looks a bit taller than Matt there. But Matt was 18 when the film was made and its possible that he hadn't reached his full height. Mickey is also listed as 5'11 on a boxing site. smoov says on 16/May/07
"Sometimes I see pictures of him and he looks like a 5ft 8 guy, but in reality he is about 5ft 11 these days" where did that come from? Did he take off his shoes and whip out a tape measure for you? Austrian says on 16/Mar/07
@editor rob: forget about that pic, Vin Diesel always wears totally ridiculous shoes tank says on 11/Mar/07
5'11" seems a little tall for him but i can believe it. i think tupac was actually about an inch taller than what he's listed. the pics with tupac are probably why people are thinking rourke is shorter than 5'11". he's probably 5'11" and tupac's about 5'10". in the movie bullet they looked about the same height and build. he was A LOT leaner and thinner in that movie than he is now. after that movie he started bulking up quite a bit. seems like a pretty cool guy. i like the characters he plays.

I watched the Rainmaker last night, and Rourke and Matt Damon are the exact same height. I'm guessing 5ft10 or a little more with shoes (5ft9 barefoot), and some serious heels for a lot of his other films. He does tend to wear cowboy boots and motorcycle boots a lot. In Sin City he did look big, but once again he wore big thick industrial boots and special fx prosthetics to play Marv, Marv was a beast in the Frank Miller comics. Anonymous says on 31/Oct/06
He looks the listed height in Body Heat near 6'2" William Hurt. Jordan says on 29/Aug/06
IN SIn City the guy looked well over 6'0 I guess they worked the camera angles Nolifts81 says on 13/Jun/06
Maybe Dillon has grown. Nowadays Dillon is a little bit taller than Rourke.Almost 1 inch TJ says on 13/Jun/06
Maybe because when Rumble Fish was filmed Matt was 17-18 and subsequently grew a little more? Nolifts81 says on 11/Jun/06
Yes he is 5'11". But how is possible that in "Rumble fish" he is 1 inch taller than 5'11.5 Matt Dillon? He had lifts in the shoes in that movie?Dillon is a little bit taller than him! dmeyer says on 12/May/06
in movie like domino he looks a solid 5'11 kyle says on 17/Mar/06
5'11" sounds about right, yes Rourke was a boxer and was always listed at 5'11". I am a boxer too and am listed always at 6'0" tall. before bouts they measure you without footwear on. celeb says on 19/Feb/06
i know for fakt that rourke is 5"11 bacause he has been a boxer and they stated him as 180cm than, and in sports like amatuer boxing they never lie.

In the 90's Rourke went to Argentine (south america) to a boxing exibition (?). There he stood besides a popular TV showman called Marcelo Tinelli (187 cm, aprox. 6.15-6.2). Rourke didnīt reach the level of the ear of the guy. I think heīs 5.9 . ladada says on 6/Dec/05
tupac could of been two people, some say he was 5'7 .. some say 5'11 .. if you compare tupac to snoop dogg from an old MTV video, it's odd.. snoop is 6'3 but is near a foot taller then Pac.. but mug shots show Pac to be 5'11 .. it's all related back to when he was first shot dmeyer says on 30/Nov/05
you right rob he does look aleast 180 cm Anonymous says on 24/Oct/05
In the movie double team he is van dammes height, he definitely didnt look 5'11" next to tupac, as he was the same height as him, although tupac did claim to be 5'11" aswell, but I think that was definitely incorrect Nino says on 26/Aug/05
180cm is the right height for Mickey. But I am sure that in the past he has often weared elevator shoes. If you watch the movie "Harley Davidson and Marlboro man" with Don Johnson he towered over Don. He was nearly 4 inches taller and apparently they weared the same kind of cowboy boots. Don is listed at 5'10" and Mickey is for sure 5'11" but the height difference is too much.The solutions are two: Don Johnson isn't 5'10" but 5'8" or mickey in his cowboy boots weared 2 or 2,5 lifts inside. What do you think editor? The Jackal says on 21/Aug/05
I saw a picture of him standing next to Tupac in the '90's. Now Tupac is a 5'7" or 5'8", tops. And he and Mickey Rourke were almost shoulder-to-shoulder.
Then again, in "Get Carter", he gets close to Stallone. They seem very close, as well. And Sly is a 5'9" with his elevator-shoes on and Rourke had MAYBE an inch or two on him.
I'd put Mickey Rourke at 5'10" or an inch less, depending. His shoes in "Sin City" make me confident in this. Maybe he got his elevator-boots from his friend, Sly? ;) Anonymous says on 23/Jun/05
hes in between 5'11'' and 6' for sure Lmeister says on 3/Mar/05
I think that is the right height. He def. aint a short guy sometimes he is just wearing shoes like sandals they make him look shorter and so does carrying his dog aswell 'cause he has to slouch a bit and it seems that he carries the dog almost all the time. |
